Such differences can be due to packaging constraints of different implementations (e.g., room available for the power supply), or operational and/or ergonomic constraints applicable to the sensors and/or user input devices (e.g., user- friendly positioning of a joystick).

- Figure 15 illustrates the functional structure of a typical bend sensor 110, 111 used for detecting finger bend position in the Gesture Glove.
- This bend sensor is mounted over the Dorsal side of the Proximal Interphalangeal joint.
- the bend sensor is constructed with a core 170 of semi-conductive carbon infused resilient plastics, such as polyurethane or polyethylene porous substrate material, capable of being optionally impregnated with one or more of: ethanol, isobutane, propane, 1,1-difluroethane, powdered carbon and powdered graphite.
- the core 170 there are two thin, flexible electrically conductive plates 171 (made of a conductive and corrosion-resistant sheet material) that complete a conductive pathway over the entire upper and lower semi-conductor core surface.
- wider electrically conductive plates 171 are used for optimal sensing; a wide surface of contact with the electrically conductive layers reduces signal noise and overcomes local signal degradation caused by surface irregularities produced during the manufacturing process.
- the wide contact surface area also provides current pathway redundancy, fault tolerance, and greater accuracy and reproducibility between different batches of production units or sensors that have the same overall dimensions.
- any known electrically conductive means of adhesion (such as brazing, welding, or soldering) 172 can be used to attach conductive wire leads 173 to the upper and lower electrically conductive plates 171. Polarity of applied current is interchangeable between the upper and lower electrically conductive plates 171.
- the electrically conductive plates 171 along with the core semi-conductive layer 170 and attached wire leads 173 are enclosed in a flexible and durable thin plastic sheathing 174.
- the sheathing is manufactured with a flat tapered region 175, which acts as the designated surface for fastening the sensor assembly to the rest of the Gesture Glove (any fastening means applied to region 175 will not induce compression of the core sensing areas 170 and 171).
- the area where the wire leads 173 are exiting the sheathing 174 is sealed with a non-conductive epoxy glue seal 176, to prevent core slippage, and to provide an anchor point for the wire leads in order to prevent disconnection or fatigue at their respective attachment points 172 on the electrically conductive plates 171 from repeated movements.
- the epoxy seal 176 also serves as a second fastening surface for the bend sensor. Bending this sensor assembly in either direction along the length of the sensor will stretch and compress the semi-conductive material, increasing the conductive density, and reducing the resistance of the sensor assembly.
- the carbon infused porous substrate may be further impregnated with electrical-resistance altering chemical additives such as ethanol, isobutane, propane, 1,1-difluroethane, powdered carbon, powdered graphite, etc.) .
- the porous substrate may be impregnated by being soaked in various solutions or suspensions containing ethanol, isobutane, propane, 1,1-difluroethane, powdered carbon, powdered graphite, followed by low heat drying for one hour or more, such as 24 hours, so as to achieve various weight % levels of chemical additive impregnation.
- the porous substrate material has an absorptive sponge-like and absorptive consistency with high permeability to absorb the chemical solution.
- materials and chemical concentrations can be adjusted to produce the desirable dynamic range for resistance change as needed. For example, a higher carbon deposition will produce higher conductivity and smaller dynamic range. Alternatively, a higher chemical additive deposition will produce higher resistance when material is not bent, and greater dynamic range during flexion. Thus, the range can be adjusted between unbent to bent flexion.
- the maximum-minimum resistivity range may be about 30k ohms to about 2k ohms respectively in some implementations with approximately 10% chemical deposition within the porous substrate, and about 200k ohms to about 5k ohms respectively with 100% chemical deposition within the porous substrate in other implementations.
- the senor may be positioned in a wearable HMI device in proximity to a finger or hand joint or a muscle of a user of the HMI device, such that any motion of such joint or muscle causes deformation of the sensor, resulting in the sensor outputting directly to the MCU a respective analog signal representative of extent of the deformation.
- the analog signal varies because the bend sensor has a variable resistance that changes relative to the amount of bending or flexing of its physical components.
- a bend sensor e.g., bend sensors 110 or 111
- a bend sensor exhibits a wide resistance range from about 2,000 ohms at a 90 degree bend to about
- the bend sensor may operate at an applied source driving voltage as low as 3.3 volts.
- Figure 16 is a flow diagram of the processing steps performed by the MCU of the Gesture Glove.
- the MCU initializes the system.
- the system may include electronic modules such as (MPU, MCU, BATTERY, RFTX). Examples of initializing the system may include loading device settings or defaults for certain electronic modules and setting thresholds to determine when to communicate sensor data.
- Steps 160 la- 160 Id describe a process for initializing a system according to at least one embodiment of the invention.
- the MCU loads system
- the MCU loads defaults to
- the MCU initializes the MPU.
- the MCU sets thresholds for motion sensors and for bend sensors. When a value generated by a motion sensor and a bend sensor exceeds the threshold set by the MCU, the MCU will transmit the sensor data measured by one or more sensors, such as a bend sensor) to another computing device.
- the MCU samples data from one or more sensors, such as a bend sensor, pushbutton switch, miniature joystick or MPU.
- the sensors may be configured to detect orientation and/or position and/or movement and/or flexion of a user and generate sensor data corresponding to such orientation and/or position and/or movement and/or flexion.
- the MCU determines whether the sensor data meets
- predetermined transmission criteria by comparing the sampled data from each sensor to a threshold. If the sampled data does not exceed the threshold, the MCU returns to step 1602 and continues to sample data from the one or more electronic devices. If the sampled data exceeds the threshold, the MCU advances to step 1604.
- the MCU may sample data from all sensors when the sampled data from one or more sensors exceeds the threshold. By determining whether sensor data meets predetermined transmission criteria, the MCU can judiciously decide whether to transmit data or refrain from transmitting data. Transmitting data requires power and with the HMI operating on a fixed power supply to allow a user to have free range of movement, conserving power provides a better overall experience for the user.
- the MCU averages the sampled data with statistical conditioning based on whether the MCU is operating in a low latency or high accuracy mode.
- a single sensor to measure each specific orientation or movement of the user may be used. By using a single sensor, less processing time is required, meaning lower latency is realized overall by the system.
- the raw sensor data for gyroscopic, accelerometric, and magnetometric data may be associated on a one-to-one basis with a sensor output (one gyroscope, one accelerometer, one magnetometer) using any known filtering algorithms or fusion algorithms (e.g., a Kalman filter or a custom filter). The sensor data is then aggregated over multiple readings and time averaged to produce a steady output with very low drift and low noise.
- a low pass filter algorithm employed after the time-averaged data stream is sampled minimizes noise yielding very stable orientation and motion data that can be used to control a console application efficiently and accurately.
- Time-averaging prior to the low pass filtering is critical in achieving the high accuracy in output.
- the MCU may receive sensor data from multiple redundant sensors (e.g., two or more accelerometers to measure the same linear direction or two or more gyroscopes to measure the same angular movement). Redundant sensors may be helpful because inertial sensors are prone to long-term drift, a type of noise that manifests itself in the sensor data.
- the MCU can reduce the amount of noise in the sampled data. For example, if the sampled data includes multiple samplings, it is possible that some of the samplings may have a substantial noise component. However, if other samplings have a limited noise component, the averaging of the samplings will reduce the overall noise component in the sampled data. By reducing noise, the electronic devices described herein can more easily process the desired signal component of the sampled data.
- the multiple redundant sensors may be mounted at fixed and known distances relative to each other on a custom printed circuit board. The distances may be predetermined during circuit board fabrication.
- the sensor data from the multiple redundant sensors is used with each output being subjected to filtering methodology in a low latency mode, as described above.
- the positional and orientation data from each sensor is then considered with the known actual physical and orientation data to further eliminate drift, noise, and position for optimum accuracy. This configuration minimizes long- term drift and noise deviation because the actual distances and angles between sensors soldered on the MPU board are already known.
- the MCU may include a 20Mhz to 50Mhz processor.
- the high accuracy and low latency methods described above can be used with a nominal trade-off of higher battery consumption.
- multiple low frequency MCUs can be connected in tandem using I2C or SPI communication bus to collect and process data from each set of gyroscopes,
- accelerometers and/or magnetometers to divide processing load and accomplish higher throughput with similar trade-off of higher battery consumption.
- the processes performed by the MCU in steps 1603 and 1604 may be performed in reverse.
- the MCU averages the sampled data to reduce noise and then compares the sampled data to a threshold.
- the name corresponds to the electronic component (e.g., a bend sensor or push button switch) and the value corresponds to a human action or gesture measured by the electronic component.

- the MCU transmits the data as a data transmission packet.
- the data transmission packet is made up of i) standard ASCII characters describing named variables and their respective values or ii) encoded values corresponding to the sensor data.

- Figure 17 depicts the primary layer, class, or process to intercept data from the Gesture Glove. This layer can be used on any electronic or computing device. The output of this layer is represented by "A" at the bottom of Figure 17 which is an event forwarded to higher layers or encapsulating classes. Name value pairs are converted into arrays or lists that are looped through and parsed to assess the variable states, such as Pushbutton Switches 120, 121, 122, Bend Sensor Positions 110, 111, as well as hand-orientation and movement (MCU) 131.
- MCU hand-orientation and movement
- an event "A" is raised for higher-layer applications of encapsulated classes; such as Gesture Control applications and Mouse Control applications described in Figures 18 and 19 respectively.
- the MCU requires less processing power to operate, thereby preserving battery power.
- the RF receiver device may have faster processing capabilities, thereby reducing latency by interpreting gesture commands at the receiver device as compared to interpreting gesture commands at the MCU.
- the MCU transmits the gesture command to the RF receiver device.
- the gesture commands when executed by a console application, cause the console application to perform an action (e.g., cause an unmanned aerial vehicle to perform a barrel roll).
- Figure 18 is a generalized representation of the processing steps to extract the individual gesture positions and hand orientation in an embodiment of this invention.
- the event received from the output "A" as described in Figure 17, is assessed for values exceeding a threshold limit for each variable. If the values are below the threshold, then the process terminates or exits in Figure 18. If the threshold is exceeded, then the ongoing inputs subsequent to that trigger are stored in memory up until the moment the values fall below the threshold for the given variable. Subsequently, the data collected is traced and subjected to a pattern recognition algorithm, such as Hidden Markov Model or a Neural Network with integrated Fuzzy Logic, the output of which identifies a said motion that triggers an action, macro, stored procedure, program, etc.

- Figure 19 is a flow diagram of the processing steps performed by an application for Mouse & Joystick control.
- the event received from the output "A" as described in Figure 17 is parsed for hand-orientation and motion that are converted into Mouse movements and Pushbutton states that emulate various Mouse-button states in the operating system of the receiver computer.
- Glove uses wireless transmission to control electronic devices using multiple methods.
- the bend orientation of fingers 110 and thumb 111 can be used as an input method to control a wirelessly connected device.
- embedded switches 120 or alternate user controls e.g., ajoystick or capacitive touch pad
- the hand orientation and motion (MPU) 131 can also be used as gestural control parameter.
- any combination of these three methods can be used for a plurality of additional gesture controls.
- the Gesture Glove a unique solution as a multi-functional human-machine interface device.
- One of the most distinct and unique functional features of the Gesture Glove is the method in which the Bend Sensor 110 functions.
- four (4) Bend Sensors 110 measure the bend position of the four (4) fingers at the Proximal Interphalangeal joint 102 on the dorsal side of each finger.
- the fifth (5th) Bend Sensor 111 is placed between the thumb and the index finger.
- a second method of control that the Gesture Glove implements is through the use of Push-button Switches 120.
- the Microcontroller Unit (MCU) 130 monitors and relays two (2) states (ON or OFF) of the Pushbutton Switches 120 to a given wireless receiving device during a data-packet transmission.
- a third distinct method of control that the Gesture Glove utilizes is through the use of hand orientation and motion.
- an inertial Motion Processing Unit (MPU) 131 is used to measure the static G-Force on the XYZ axis. These values are read and transmitted by the Microcontroller Unit (MCU) 130 as the tilt-orientation of the hand to the wireless receiver device within a wireless data-packet transmission. The spatial motion of the hand is measured using the same MPU 131. A movement in any axial plane causes inertial force on the MPU 131 that is also read and relayed by the MCU 130 within a wireless data- packet transmission.
- the Gesture Glove is configurable to perform the following:
- static positional gesture detection such as detecting a value of 5 units (five minutes or five points) when the user raises and holds still his be-gloved hand with all his five fingers spread apart
- simplistic movement gesture detection such as interpreting a simple motion of the hand in the air to mean swatting, or throwing, or "crossing out”
- combined gesture detection such as assigning a certain meaning to a certain
- the MPU 131 may include one or more sensors such as magnetometers, gyroscopes, inertial sensors, accelerometers and electro-myograms.
- the magnetometers may measure the orientation of a body part of a user relative to the Earth's magnetic field.
- the gyroscopes may measure changes in angular orientation of a body part of a user in one or more axes.
- the accelerometers may measure changes in movement of a body part of a user in one or more (e.g., three) axes.
- the electro-myograms may measure electrical signals produced during muscle contractions by a user.
- the MPU 131 may be configured to detect tension or stress levels on the skin of the user and encode the sensor data to correspond to a general configuration of the body part (e.g., hand) of the use. In such configurations, the MPU 131 may detect tension on the palm of the user, or detect if a hand of a user is in a fist or has fingers extended.
- the MPU 131 may include redundant pairs (e.g., two, four, six) of sensors, such as magnetometers, gyroscopes, accelerometers and electro- myograms. In these configurations, the MPU 131 may reduce sensor noise by incorporating redundancy and averaging the sensor data from groups of redundant sensors. By averaging the sensor data from groups of redundant sensors, anomalous noise found in one sensor can be minimized by averaging the sensor data with anomalous noise with sensor data from properly functioning sensors.

- the MPU 131 is a custom printed circuit board having an array of sensors.
- the MPU 131 includes a multi-master, multi-slave, single-ended, serial computer bus to transmit data between sensors and the MCU 130.
- the MCU 130 may process sensor data from the MPU 131 using the I2C protocol developed by Philips Semiconductor®.
- each sensor is addressable and the bus contains two outputs, a clock signal and the sensor data. At each clock cycle, the MCU 130 samples one bit of data from each sensor until all sensor data is sampled. Then, the MCU 130 repeats the sampling process.
- Figure 17 describes a process for intercepting the data- packet and pre-processing the values of each variable transmitted by the Gesture Glove before being passed on to higher layers of processing. This method establishes a base layer for communication that can be standardized in a form of software class, importable into encapsulating classes that used the standard procedures of the primary layer to intercept the Gesture Control data and build more complex control applications.
- a higher level class or procedure is described in Figure 18 to detect a predefined gesture or hand movement to trigger a program, method, macro, etc. further up the chain.
- Another application for mouse control is described in Figure 19.
- Data received by the computer via Bluetooth, radio frequency (e.g., amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, phase modulation) or WiFi is parsed and converted to represent positional X, Y values for the mouse, as well as the button state can be mapped to emulate mouse movements and clicks on the resident Operating System of the computer.
- the gesture control application and mouse control application can be cascaded together to create even more robust applications with a multiplicity of controls through combinatorial use of finger, switch, and motion sensors in the Gesture Glove.
- Left-Hand and Right-Hand Gloves can be used in concert for even greater control of the receiver device.
